  Dear Alliance women,

During the past years, the Alliance Women groups have been partners with the Bongolo Evangelical Hospital through your prayers and giving. There have been many occasions that the items that we were in need of showed up in a package sent by you! We thank God for you and your continued ministry with us in spreading God's love through the medical ministry. For example, this past year we have had about 16 bum patients due to faulty kerosene and your gifts of compresses and rolled bandages were very helpful We had to end up using rolled bandages for compresses, so we are now in a real need for compresses.

Packages should be sent to:

 Bongolo Evangelical Hospital
             B. P. 49
             Bongolo, Lebamba,
             Gabon, Africa.

The packages should be sent in large sturdy cartons. Packages arrive in good condition if wrapped in a plastic bag, placed in a box and sealed with packaging tape (No string). When sending liquids, place the bottle in a zip-lock bag and seal it. Please do not send soap and food stuffs in the same package! Before sealing your package, slip a card with your return address inside the package. Packages take several months to arrive, anywhere from 6-12 months. We will notify you when your package arrives to us.
